Senior Corporate Counsel
About KAST
KAST is redefining what it means to bank with stablecoins — think Revolut, rebuilt from scratch on Web3. Backed by top-tier VCs, we’ve grown from 0 to 1 million users in under a year. We’re building the next-gen global bank based entirely on stablecoins.
Design is at the heart of everything we do — it’s how we simplify the complex, make money feel easy, and turn crypto skeptics into brand ambassadors.
The Role
We are seeking a seasoned, versatile Senior Corporate Lawyer to join our legal team. This is a high-impact role designed for a "Swiss Army Knife" legal professional who thrives in fast-paced environments. You will navigate complex regulatory landscapes in the FinTech, Payments, and Crypto sectors while leading high-stakes corporate transactions and managing our global entity structure.
The ideal candidate will combine deep technical expertise in Acquisitions with the agility to handle day-to-day commercial issues and strategic fundraising initiatives.
What You’ll Be Doing
1. Corporate Development & M&A
- Lead Acquisitions: Drive the legal lifecycle of domestic and international acquisitions, from initial due diligence and term sheet negotiation to SPA drafting and post-closing integration.
- Fundraising Support: Partner with stakeholders to manage Series rounds, debt financing, and other capital-raising activities.
- Strategic Projects: Provide legal architecture for joint ventures, divestitures, and complex corporate reorganizations.
2. Commercial Contracts (FinTech & Crypto)
- Draft, negotiate, and review high-stakes agreements including Payment services, SaaS licenses, and Liquidity Provider agreements.
- Ensure all commercial contracts mitigate risk while supporting aggressive business growth.
3. Global Governance & Operations
- Entity Management: Oversee corporate governance for a global web of entities, ensuring compliance with local statutory requirements.
- Stakeholder Management: Act as a trusted advisor on matters of risk, fiduciary duty, and corporate strategy.
- Generalist Advisory: Tackle "day-to-day" legal hurdles ranging from employment nuances and IP protection to data privacy concerns.
What You'll Bring
- Qualification: Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales (or equivalent Common Law jurisdiction).
- Seniority: Minimum of 8 years PQE with sophisticated in-house experience.
- Acquisition Experience: A proven track record of leading M&A deals with minimal external supervision.
